| {3 FIFTEENTH YEAR. REDDINGTON PROVES A ROGUE Dismissed From Service for Collusion With a Gang of 8tock Jobbers, WORKING THE PACIFIC STOCKS. Giving Advance Information to Them FromHis Position as Chief Clerk in the Commissioner of Raile . road's Office—Notes. A Crooked Clerk Dismisse WasmnNGToN, Feb, 21.—|Special Tele- gram.]—A bombshell of large dimensions Jias been exploded in the interior department by the summary dismissal of Major Thomas Reddington, acting chief clerk in the office of the commissioner of railroads, When Major Reddington was appointed some few weeks since to this responsible position, it was generally understood that by reason of his reputation as an expert railroad nc- countant his scryices would be of peculiar value to the government in adjusting the accounts of the Pacific railway, and thus materially aid the labors of General Joseph E. Jolinston, commissioner of railroads, As time passed little things cropped out here and there which, coming to Secretary Lamar's attention, eaused him to suspect that in the appointment of Major Reddington it was quite possible a serious mistake had been Sceretary Lamar proceeded with great care and deliberation to ascertain all the facts concerning Major Reddington’s actions and history, past and present. The result proved the realization of his worst fears, and Major Reddington was imme- diately displaced. tions made tend to show that a decp laid scheme was on foot, engineered by a firm of brokers, to bear certain Pacific rail- way stocks, and that this syndicate would naturally depend upon obtaining advanced and authentic information concerning what was contemplated by the authorities or likely to be accomplished by congress respecting Pacific railway legislation. This is evidenced by the fact that upon Major Reddington being recently sent to mine and report upon the amounts paid a8 subsidy by the i Iways to the Paciti 1 Steamship company and varions other r matters, the stock of the Union and Mail fell from six to eight points. It alleged also that Major Reddington claimed to I formulated the instructions upon which he acted in this examination, he representing that General John- stone was practically superannuated. It me incidentally to the knowledge retary Lawar and As 1t Secretary ome time since that information nad Dbeen surreptitiously obtained at the interior department for a long period by which a ring of stock jobbers liave been enabled to oper: suecessfully in the market in Pacific railways securities, Thereunon an order was made to preserve the utmost seerecy concerning the actions of the department, and Major Red- dington was strictly enjoined to observ His removal indicates that Secretary Lamar unecarthed {he game being played. It is further alleged t Congressman Throckmorton, chairman ot the Pacitic ways committee, and Congressmen Du and Cabell of the same committee, wi named by Major Reddington as persons whom he influenced, if not controlled. As thesegentlemen seem to have been largely sponsors for Major Reddington, it is appa- rent that they have been fearfully duped by he specious representations of the latter person, and doubtless they will heartily ap- prove the action of Secretary Lawmar in dis- placing him, REWARD THETR VALIANT SERVICES, The diseussion about promotions in the army has revived the talk® about rewarding Lieutenant Greeley and Sergeant Brainard for their sery in the Arctic ocean. Upon 1he rescue of Greeley's party and thelr return to the United States it was generally be- lieved that the services and heroism of Greeley and Brainard would be recognized and rewarded by promotion. At the last ses sion of congr a bill was introduced to create the office of assistant signal officer with rank of colonel. This was intended for, Greeley’s benefit, but unfortunately the bill W not reached. Thooo was talk at the same timo of appointing Brainard to one of the in the grade of second licutenant, 1 an appointment was urzed upon the president, but for sowe unexplained reason his appointment was not made. It is under- stood that Brainard was not ap- pointed because it was considered at he war department that he was too old to bo commissioned as a second lieuten- ant and take rank below so mauny men his juniorin years. Then it was feared that Brainard could not pass the technical exami- nation required for such an appointment, The first of these reasons is entirely insuffi- cient. Brainard has passed the limit of age preseribed for second licutenants, but if he does not object to taking a place in which he would rank below men who are his juniors in years and serviee, it would seem that such an objection should not be raised by the war department, and particniarly as Biainard’s appointment would be made on account of distinguished services, It 's safe to say that in-the service of any other country Sergeant Brainard would have obtained the promotion he me While the bill ailuded to for (Greeley’s pro- motion was pending in congress, President Arthur did not think it prudent to tuke any Steps to promote him. The bIll having friends wrged President Cleveland to appoint him o major in the ad- jutant general’s or inspector gener partment, three wajors having bes These oflicers were un- i, and Greeley thercfore remains o first licutenant of cavalry, after rendering servico that has wade his name a household word in every civilized country, His terrible experiences and suffering in the Areticregion have seriously impaired Greeley’s health and wake him unfit for active service with his regiment, although abundantly qualitied to perform staff or other light duty. A bill is pending in both houses to retire Greeley with the rank of colonel, and his friends hope this will be during the present scssion, Brainard’s triends will make another effort to have him made a second lieutenant, The following is the report prepared by Mr, Laffoon of Kentucky,made by the house com- mitee on public lands on the bill to create two new distriets in Nebraska: The object of the bill is to divide the Minuechadusa land distriet, and create out of the western half thereof a land distriet to be ealled the North- west land disiviet, and to divide the North Flatte land district and to create out of the western half the Sidney land district. In both of the above named districts settlement hias increased so rapidly that the local oflices cannot comply with the demands upon thei, Asat present constituted the two existing dis- triets are about 230 miles in length from east to west and 75 juiles in width from north to south. The present bill dividing thew on a lne fiow north to south, gives to each district as nearly as can be esti- mated abont ‘an equal amount of agricaltural | land. Settlers i the western portion of the ) weuse amount of diuge. proposed districts have sent petitions to con- gress urging the passage of the bill, claiming rightfully that it will be of great benefit in settling up that section of the state, and the offices, being nearer the land settled upon, will tend to prevent frauds. The commis- sioner of the gencral land ofiice and secretary of the interior both favor the proposed bill. CAPITAL GOSSIP OF BRASKA INTER T Telegrams from Beatrice express surprise and dissatisfaction with the appointment of Riggs as postmaster, Inquiry at the depart- ments has brought out thie fact that the ap- pointment was made at the instance of Mr. Hoyt, President Cleveland’s nephew, who resides at Beatrice. Marvin's papers, under ordinary circumstances, would have secured him the postmastership. ‘The report that Minor Bruce has come to Washington totender Lis resignation isa falsification. The batch of aflidavits pub- lished in the Omaha Republican, pretend- ing to be copies of paners filed here, were doubtless furnished by Bazile Mills, Brooks, and others, They must have miscarried, as they have not yet reachied the land office, enator Van Wyck says with regard {o the presidential nominations from Nebraska now before the senate, each appointment will beacted on as all others, on their respective merits,. No man will be rejected unless for causes that would disqualify him in the eyes of everybody. PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE, Mr. and Mrs, E. Rosewater left here to- night for their home at Omaha.

Cuicaao, Feb, 21.—In response to a tele- gram sent from the general oflice of the Associated Press in Chicago to 8. R. C: loway, general manager of the Union Pa Iway, asking for a statement from him respecting the disruption ot the Transcon- tinental association, Mr. Calloway tele- graphed from Boston last evening, oiting that the pooling arrangement betwéen the California roads expired by limitation a month ago, but there was a tacit agreement among the roads to maintain rates pending the time when they could agree upon a basis of reorganization, verthe all lines appear to haye cut rates more or 16ss, and the Southern ific with its water line to New Orleans cut the lowest.

MURDERER AND THEN MANIAC People Who Proclaim Their Knowledge After the Orima is Committed, BUT THEY NEVER SPEAK BEFORE. lowa Wants a Haven of Rest for Dis abled Veterans—City Politics in Des Moines—The Supreme Court in Session. Unrestrained Cranks Who Kill. Des Morses, lowa, KFeb, ~—[Special.]— After a man has committed some fiendish crime, if the plea of i ity is advanced it is remarkable how many men are ready to pop up and declare that they knew he was crazy asaloon all the while. And yet if he wasthe lives of innocent people were all the time in jeopardy, and no one gave the warning. "This fact receives new emphasis in the case of Furrey, who killed his brother-in-law n here a few day: being 1>nlvl|~hi ll in the Breat the tim r £ in this city, and there are plenty of people who come forward every day and testify to the freaks of this mar and the strange hallucinations he en tained. It would seem as if body around his former home knew that he was more or less deranged, and yet he was allowed to go uncontined till in one freak he took an axe and murdered a sleeping man, People are now beginning to think that maniacs had better be shut up be- fore they Kkill people rather than after. Undoubtedly many insane persons lave been kept at home on accountof the present crowded condition of the state hosp It was hoped that by this time ample accommo- dations would be afforded for all who needed them, but it may be two years more, and it may be longer, before that will be done; The hospitals at Mount Pleasant and Indepen- donce are already taxed beyond their capae- ity, and the new asylum at Clarinda has not yet risen beyond its foundation walls, There is nota very good outlook for the poor de- mented ones at present. The tru tees of the Mount Pleasant hospital ask for $100,000 for an additional wing that will provide accommodations for 200 more patients. But the fioating debt of three-quarters of a million ri like a ghost before the legislature and makes every mem- ber look a long timeata doliar before ap- propriating it. Two years ago the general assembly provided for another hospital, and it was subsequently located at Clarinda, and itisnow partially constructed. But since envious or maiicious persons have started damaging reports about the expenditures al- ready made on it the enterprise is somewhat under the ban of suspicion, and it may have trouple in getting the desired appre tions to carry on the work, Altogether, therefore, the prospects for immediate provision for all the insane of the stateare not very flattering, but it is to be hoped that there will not be many more neglected eases to result in such tragedies as the recent one at Runnels. Speaking of appropriations, it makes a great difference whether the dear people gen- erally want a certain appropriation in dete wining how poor the state is. For some purposes the state is as poor as a miserable tramp without a cent, but just let the people generally ask for something and the members of the legislature at once see funds and resources without limit. The popular demand for a soldiers’ home is an example. Iowa sent 80,000 soldiers to the union army, and the war spirit and the soldier element are still very strong influences in the state, so that when it was suggested that the people of Iowa ought to build a home for their home- Tess veterans, the idea was caught up enthusi- astically and is being pushed successfully. Petitions pour into the legislature at every session asking for a soldier’s home, Probably ,000 people have already signed petitions for that purpose, Some of the best speeches of the session so far been made in favor of the project, and thel is vrac y no opposition to i he legislature will appropriate $100,000 at least, to start the enterprise and the bill will pass both houses with a rush, T because it is a pobular measure, and if the peopleall want it nobody dares object. It is probable that a commission of eight to locate the home and oversee its construetion will be appointed, four from the house and four from the sen- ate. A commander of the home will be selected from among the old soldiers two or three years a fine resting place tor lowa’s disabled veterans will be provided. The republican primaries on Thursday nominated a strong ticket afte; penditure of money, The man who rec the nomination for mayor, Robert Fulierton, is a wealthy lumber merchant, with a lumber ring belund him, His nomination cost him several thousand dollars, but he can afford to pay it. His opponent was a poor man who could’nt compete with the “‘bar’l,” The re- sult left considerable bad feeling among the friends of the defeated candidate, and at first a little disposition to let the democratic can- didate—if a good man is nominated—slip in, But better counsel prevailed, and the old party lines will be drawn and the battle will be fought on the old party grounds. The democrats nre talking of a citizens t cateh the votes of any disappointed or dis- satisfied republicans, but it is the old dodge 0! in, and if successful it would be pro- claimed from Maine and California that the republican city of the republican state of lowa had gone democratic, and no republi- can wants any such announcement as that lsent out. So personal disappointments and grieyances will be laid aside and the party’s suceess will be put uppermost, A case of considerabe import: to Towa awyers and of incidental interest to mem- bers of the bar in other states, has just called Mr. Pray, the clerk of the supreme court, to Leavenworth (Kan.). The lowa supreme court reports are published by Banks & Brothers of New York, under contract with the state. For some time past the North- western Reporter, a law journal at Minne- apolls, has been publishing the opinions as soon as delivered, or about a year and a half in advance ot the w York firm, They have obtained these opinions from the clerk of the court, Mr, Pray., The New York pub- lishers some time ago brought suit to have him enjoined from delivering these opin- jons, elaiming that their weekly publication injured the sale of their reports. The supreme court held that their opinions were matters of public racord and public p roperty, and that the elerk was in duty bound to fur- nish copies to all who asked for them. The New York firm now bring suit in the United States cireuit court, before Judge Brown, claiming the right under their contract to copyright the opinions of the Iowa supreme court, a nd asking that the clerk be enjoined from giving copies of thew to anyone else, The casc attracting a great deal of aten- tion, for if the New York firm wins, frwill tak rand & half after lowa opinions before lowa lawyers can Sl Decided to Amalgamate, New X onk, Feb, I'he National Dairy- men's Protective ation yesterday de- iined toamalgamate with the American airy assoclation, NEWS OF NEBRASKA.

The train was going at a rate of forty-five miles an hour. The porter rushed through and told the conductor, but as the man was thought to have been instantly killed the conductor concluded it was un- necessary to stop. At the mnext sta- tion the conductor telegraphed back for the agent at Ottercliffe. near which station the man jumped off, to send out and get the remains and ship them on to Detroit. ‘I'he conductor took the names of the witnesses necessary for the inquest. Justas the Otter- cliffe agent got the message @ very cold and scantily clad man walked into the station, and when hie had. got warm, and his teeth stopped chattering, he told the astonished agentthat he wished the conductor of the ast express to take charge of his clothes and effects in his sleeping berth.
